I was listening to ideas today about using OSM ids om walking papers, and then adding in a spreadsheet for the form.
The only thing still missing is active GPS capture, which still requires a device. I am open to this, but I have found I have some issues getting all the IDs printed because they collide. This is a rendering issue. Maybe that is something I could request from the walking papers folks, a better collision detection process for rendering with a certain data layer (OSMIds for nodes). The best is building outlines with a node (centroid) for IDs with a filter for specific node types (Overpass). -- Alex On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 11:43 AM, Daniel O'Connor <daniel.ocon...@gmail.com>wrote: > Are there other alternatives like walking papers that can scale out > cheaply to meet data capture needs but require some centralization for > economies of scale? > > Ie meetups that produce basemap and provide scanning services plus pcs for > tracing? > On 15/12/2013 3:05 PM, "Alex Rollin" <alex.rol...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> It's a funny mix and I've had trouble identifying a good choice for >> Indonesia.
